What if a romantic and sexual relationship ISN'T an unambiguously good end goal? Maybe it would be a whole can of worms to get with your crush who's your boss in fact.
Bowerbird is a combination T4T adult visual novel and dungeon builder set in the midst of royal conflict. By day, you serve as the court architect to your royal patron, Prince Lanu. The Prince is critical, demanding, rude, unreasonable, and...extraordinarily hot. At night your dreams focus on the last point. Construct architectural marvels in the dreamscape, fight your way across them, and gain inspiration to finish the damn things in the real world— and maybe impress your employer enough to get in their pants.
This game contains written, explicit sex scenes throughout the dungeon portion. There are no visual depictions of sex, but there is minor nudity. Developed in two months for Anti-Romance Jam 2023; this iteration is a prototype of a longer game. Playtime is approximately 30 minutes.
